help on lightning picking

I can make my guitar mooo. Seriously! :twisted:


I don't think the emphasis IN A SONG should be on the solo. It should be the song first, then bother about the solo... if there is to be one.
 
whoohoooooooo

Hey Fenderules, really thanks alot, n to all those who have given positive tips, i greatly appreciate it.
 
well, shreding is easy.. messy fingers moving all over the damn place playing any notes in the chromatic scale and ending in the chord's root...

BUT, shreding CLEANly is what many many people fail to do... make a point to start out slow, and train ur fingers to not move too far away from the fret board...

if u start out fast, and THINK u can shred... playing sloppy and dirty will be a very hard bad habit to kick...

i nearly went into that, but luckily a lot of my better friends pointed out that my shreding is too unclean... so now i've slowed down and start to build on speed slowly... playing cleanly comes 1st...

there are other tricks to make u seem like u're shredding cleanly... like palm muting all or notes lightly when do alternate picking... but nah... don't bother... leanr the legit way! haha
 
yeppers

. like palm muting all or notes lightly when do alternate picking..

lol i actually cheated shredding doing that, except that it sounded better on my dropped d string. just went 1-2-3-4-2-3-4-5...i anyhow whack chromatic scale and with my ds-1's distortion setting to the max

yah its nice lah, but still more fun's in the practice to shred the right way. cheating shredding only gives temporary satisfaction..
 
Hey all

Y not form a get together n improve skills n techniques together. haha, aniway its quite unlikely though, but it sounds like a good idea ah.
 
Easy. :)

All it takes it someone to organise it, get a bunch of fellows together, book a date, book a studio, sit and learn.

T-Bone?
 
I think lots of folks have small amps right? Could be cheaper to rent a hall at a condominuim and everyone brings their guitars and amps. Just need to ensure that there are sufficient power points.

My .02 (pre-7% GST of course - sorry I couldn't resits) ;-)
